He is most known for quantum mechanics and the uncertainty principle “The more precisely the position is determined, the less precisely the momentum is known in this instant, and vice versa.” This means that it’s impossible to know both the precise location and velocity of an electron at the same time. He also developed the Heisenberg microscope which showed more about how electrons moved. It also showed that all matter moves in a wave pattern.

Heisenberg's uncertainty principle had a huge impact on how much we know about the atom. But people also applied his principle to their lives saying that everything was uncertain.
